Andrew Luck Retires

Indianapolis said goodbye to their QB as Andrew Luck retired from the team during the last preseason game. First reported by Adam Schefter of ESPN via a Tweet during the game.

Originally the news was not taken well from the Colts fans who booed when the news was first release on Twitter. Luck who has said that his mental health was worn down which caused the retirement later posted on Social media many times addressing his retirement.

Being that it is 2019 Antonio Brown used social media platforms to express his concerns and desires to the public and it seems as if one final post is what finally got him cut from the Raiders.
